export table to html, don't display certain columns

export table to html, don't display certain columns

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I know that in radio tables I can skip columns like this

% END RECEIVE ORGTBL firmas \begin{comment} #+ORGTBL: SEND firmas 
orgtbl-to-latex  :skipcols (1) :lend "\\\\ \\hline" :environment 
supertabular 


However how can I achieve that in tables in org file which I want 
to export to html?

Thanks

To answer my own question

| / | /     |     |       | /   |
|   | Name  | Res | Letra | Obs |
|---+-------+-----+-------+-----|
|   | Smith |   0 |       |     |
|   | Jones | 1.4 |       |     |
|   | Bond  | 5.6 | *     |     |

All columns starting with / are ignored when exporting. Sorry for the
noise and the double posting.

That is not entirely correct. Someone (I forgot who it was, sorry)
provided me with the following hack


(add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook
           'f-ox-filter-table-column-del)


(defun f-ox-filter-table-column-del (back-end)
   "Delete the columns $2 to $> marked as \"/\" on a row with \"/\" in $1.
 If you want a non-empty column $1 to be deleted make it $2 by
 inserting an empty column before or rearrange column order in
 some other way. Make sure \"/\" is in $1 again after that."
   (while (re-search-forward
           "^[ \t]*| +/ +|\\(.*?|\\)?? +\\(/\\) +|" nil t)
     (goto-char (match-beginning 2))
     (org-table-delete-column)
     (beginning-of-line)))


That is very useful and I wonder why there is nothing in org vanilla
(but then it might and I did not find it.)
